Product Description

Product Description

 

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)

Chemical Name: Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose
CAS No.: 9004-32-4
Synonyms: CMC sodium salt, Carboxymethylcellulose sodium, Cellulose gum

Properties

• Appearance: White to off-white fibrous or granular powder, odorless, and hygroscopic
  Solubility: Highly dispersible in water (forms a transparent colloidal solution), insoluble in organic solvents like ethanol, acetone, and ether

• pH Stability: Optimal viscosity at pH 7; unstable in strong acids (pH < 5) or bases (pH > 10)

• Thermal Stability: Viscosity decreases at high temperatures (>80°C)

Production Methods

1. Water-Mediated Process: Cellulose is treated with NaOH to form alkali cellulose, then reacted with chloroacetic acid

2. Solvent Process: Uses isopropanol/ethanol as a medium for etherification

Applications

• Food Industry: Thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in ice cream, sauces, and beverages (max. 5g/kg in instant noodles)

• Pharmaceuticals: Tablet binder, disintegrant, and suspending agent in syrups

• Cosmetics: Thickener in creams and lotions

• Industrial Uses:

  • Oil drilling (mud stabilizer)

  • Textiles (sizing agent)

  • Paper manufacturing (coating additive)
